From Ken & Billie Rae DeNaughel :
Our deepest condolences for you President Gerratt and family. May you be blessed and comforted at this time. We loved serving with you in the Twin Falls Temple.
From Fe Moorefield :
My mission mom, you will always have a special place in my heart! You are one super sweet lady whose smile and warm embrace meant so much to us missionaries away from home. Sleepovers at the mission home with my companions and then you and Pres. Gerratt dropping us off to the temple for an early morning session is one of my fondest memories in the mission.
You will be greatly missed by everyone whose lives you’ve touched, Love you.
From Lib Regodos:
Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that we feel for the passing of our 'Mission Mom.' Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. She lived with so much grace and love for all of us in the most personal of ways. Her kindness will never be forgotten. She was always a source of comfort and strength and her tenderness were inspiring. Such a beautiful soul. One thing is for sure is that her love will stay with us forever. A good soul is finally made its way home! She'll be deeply missed.
From Tonimerson :
She always put a loving smile in her face. She always said " You cannot expect God to help you if you don't move your feet". She's gone but this thought will continue to be a vestige in our hearts and minds. Our condolence Pres. Gerratt and family
From Troy Crane (nephew) and family:
My Aunt Marjorie was a great lady! I'm happy that she is now re-united with my Dad (Dan Crane) who just passed in August and her parents and all her siblings. Now the whole Elmer LeRoy and Mary Crane Family is re-united on the other side of the veil. I do feel bad for my Uncle Rex who just lost his wife, companion, helpmeet and friend of 69 years. That is a difficult trial to endure, losing one's spouse. My condolences also go out to the rest of the family as well. Uncle Rex and Aunt Marjorie raised a great family. Thank goodness for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the miracle of the resurrection. It takes away a lot of the difficult sting of death of losing loved ones.
From Scott and Chris Horsley:
Our thoughts and prayers to a special family! We love Rex and Marjorie and have many cherished memories.
From Barbara :
I have such good memories of Aunt Marjorie. Such an organized, busy lady that was so loving and kind. Thank you for all the love you showed me. You and Uncle Rex were a true example to me during my life and I thank you for your kindness and love. You always reminded me of Grandma Crane. What a great compliment.
From Neil and Donna Anderson:
Neil and I, Donna Anderson, were called to serve in the new Twin Falls Temple with the two of you, such sweet people, Neil grew up with you in school and have been eternal friends. We pray for you Rex, and your family and will always have precious memories of Marjorie, with much love.
From Janice Barnes:
I share some grandchildren with Rex and Marjorie and I know she was a wonderful grandma that will be missed. Condolences to each of your family members. You have lots of good memories so keep her in your hearts.
From Ruth Stoker:
I have many warm and fond memories of Marjorie and Rex for many years of being together in the Unity Ward and as special friends. We double dated with them often as we went to stake dances and many other activities. I send our Love and sympathy to Rex and their family. Lynn and Ruth Stoker. I always include my husband in my greetings even though he is not here in person. He passed away in November 2019. Our LOVE TO YOU REX.
From Gay Dawn and Lonnie Downs:
We have enjoyed many years of knowing and learning from not only Marjorie but Rex as well. Two of the greatest people in our community! Marjorie taught many of the relief society sisters in the Unity Wards invaluable ways to be organized. I have used her ideas for many years. Marjorie was so inspirational in every way she lived. We will miss her very much. Our prayers and thoughts are with her dear husband and family.
From Ursula Byington :
Sister Marjorie Gerratt was, and still is, an example of a distinguished woman who aged gracefully! Love and miss her cards, organ playing, and seeing her at the temple. May the good Lord bless and comfort the family with His love! (I’m sure she’s busy doing good works on the other side.)
From Jack Arthur Thrupp:
So sorry to hear about Mrs Gerratt from Mr Gerratt's 5th cousin twice removed (Wales)

Sister Gerratt was the mother and mentor to us all. Her motherly comfort and strong influence had supported me throughout and helped me finish an honorable mission. She’ll be missed.

She was like a second mom to me during my mission. I miss her sweet smile and hugs that she always gave me. She was always comforting us and would say, "Everything will be ok."
From Brenda Dille:
Such a sweetheart. She played for me as I led the music for sacramento meeting for 2 and 1/2 years in Burley 4th Ward. She will be missed.
From Eileen Albertson Petersen:
President/Elder Gerratt and family. We send deep, heart-felt condolences on the passing of your eternal sweetheart, mother, gm, and g-gm. Walt and I loved being with Rex and Marjorie on several occasions—some official—during the eventful days of diverting a flood in 1984 (hope I got the right year) and some in your home and in our home. Marjorie had a fun laugh. We admired you having nine upstanding children. And we were blessed to have your son, Steve, as our bishop during our last four years in Burley 2014-2018. I remember Steve’s fun comment about when he and his brother, Don, were the last two living at home: “We got a fourth of the pie then.” Marjorie was a wonderful cook, plus wonderful in many ways—a truly elect lady. May the Savior’s love comfort you at this tender time. Love from Eileen Petersen and family.
From Jeremy Lam :

She was always wearing a great smile. I miss her hugs, my Mission Mom, she cares a lot.....
From Don and Kathy Loveland:
Missing a great neighbor and friend. She was always friendly and cheerful. Please know our prayers and thoughts are with you.
From Paul & Susan Young:
Marjorie and Rex Gerratt were hand-picked by the Lord to open our brand new Twin Falls Temple in 2008. We watched first-hand, the beginnings of that temple, and how their leadership inspired and united us all. Sister Gerratt’s answer to most of the questions asked was, “Use common sense and inspiration.” Those are words to live by! Marjorie was so easy to love and taught by example. She will be missed! We mourn with Rex and family and send our love.
From Randy Pangilinan :
My mission mom. I love her sweet smile and sweet voices when we are talking about my health and work in my area during my mission. Thank you for all you do in the Philippines Manila mission.

A great and noble lady, she has all the qualities of a queen! How she will be missed!
